A dispute over questionable addresses started last week when the GOP filed a petition questioning 5,619 voter addresses and seeking to have the names removed from the voting list. The city Election Commission refused. The Republicans then came up with a new list of more than 37,000 questionable addresses, and they demanded city officials require those voters show identification before casting ballots. ............................................................... The Republicans came up with the 5,512 questionable addresses after running the list of addresses of more than 300,000 people registered to vote in the city through a software program also used by the U.S. Postal Service. Graber said the GOP found about 100 addresses it had questioned in last week's petition appeared valid after the additional check. ............................................................. City Attorney Grant Langley had said a check of the GOP's original list of 5,619 registrations had found "hundreds and hundreds and hundreds" of legitimate addresses. SO: Out of 37,000 or 5,512 people, 100 or "hundreds and hundreds and hundreds" were apparently legitimate. Put differently 90%-99% were illegitimate. And in one day, the Registrar of Voters is supposed to validate 20,000 voters? Gimme a break!
